Marvel have announced that Funko is currently working on a Guardians of the Galaxy POP range.

The figures as seen here of Starlord, Drax and Groot are still in prototype, but Funko has hinted they they will be ready in time for the New York Toy Fair in mid February. These figures and more will also be available in the 2.5" Mystery Minis figures, with Rocket Raccoon expected to be the highlight of both.

Comics 'N' Toys over at FunkoFanatic's has posted a photo revealing the new Marvel Comics Mystery Minis Series 1, which was announced late last year. The 2.5" blind boxed figures includes left to right:

Just like the announced The Walking Dead Minis these marvelous mini vinyls will retail for approx $5 USD per blind box or in bulk as a 24 box set. These will be available in the first quarter of this year so be on the look out at your local Funko supplier.

It's only the first month of the year and Sekure D come out swinging with this rad custom Custom Codename Human Torch Bot vinyl.

But that's not all Kidrobot reports that Australia's own Sekure D is invading the US stores and online. The Munnyworld customs will be making appearances in Los Angeles, New York, Boulder, and San Francisco for sale.

The year is 2322 and the robots, no longer reliant on their solar heart panels have taken over the world, exterminating all but a few humans. After a century spent completing their foremost objective they are now left, bereft of meaning; a regrettable shortcoming of Artificial Intelligence. Seeking something greater the ‘Codename Unknown’ Robotic Allegiance has turned to the daily activities of humans to fulfill their needs while striving to eradicate their new found enemy, the Blobs, a thriving life form created from the toxic sludge emitted by the Codename Unknown prototypes. New armies have been constructed from parts previously discarded in their underground and underwater boneyards to help fight the Blobs and stop them from destroying the earth.

So be on the lookout for these rad customs. To check out more of Sekure's awesome work go HERE.

The biggest news on the interwebs at the moment is that The Simpsons fans will soon be able to build their own Springfield, thanks to LEGO!

Announced last year the 742 Evergreen Terrace home of The Simpsons has finally come to life, containing a super 2,523 pieces, the 5 members of The Simpsons family and their neighborino Ned Flanders plus accessories.

The set is expected to be approx $300 USD and due in April. No doubt this will be successful and hopefully we'll see other sets like Moe's Tavern, Springfield Elementary and even the Nuclear Power Plant be added.
